Deputies are searching for a man who sexually battered a woman in a wooded area near Valencia College Lane and Frontage Road on Orange County’s east side.
The woman told investigators she was walking on the side-walk around 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, when an armed man exited the wooded area. The suspect grabbed the woman and dragged her into the wooded area and sexually assaulted her. The man fled on foot in the direction of Valencia College Lane.
Deputies, Chase and K-9s searched the area but met with negative results. Detectives from the OCSO Sex Crimes Unit canvassed the area much of Sunday night and again throughout Monday looking for additional evidence.
The suspect is described as a light-skinned Hispanic male, about 24-30 years old. He is about 5′ 7″ to 5′ 9″ tall, and weights about 170 pounds.
Deputies say, this case is active and ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to call the Orange County Sheriff’s Office or Crimeline at # 1-800-423-TIPS.
